"Occasions catered our wedding this March and it was fantastic! We were looking to do food stations, but not traditional ones.
Gerard and his staff were almost as excited as we were and provided lots of helpful suggestions. Let me tell you they nailed it! The food was delicious and the service even better. Never seen
such excitement over a brisket slider! We would highly recommend Occasions to anyone and everyone."
